Girl Up

Her Voice, Her Vote

Take charge today by registering to vote and inspiring others to join you. Together, we can make a difference!

Girl Up USA is launching our voter registration campaign, “Her Voice, Her Vote,” in partnership with Leading Women of Tomorrow to encourage girls like us to start their journey of political awareness. No matter your age, your voice can amplify the important issues in your community. You can be the changemaker in your circle by discussing what matters to you. Share your stories, express your viewpoints, and remind those who can vote to check their registration status! 

We aim to educate and empower citizens by organizing events, attending training sessions, and engaging in community outreach. Our campaign will promote civic duty and community involvement, ensuring every eligible voter has the opportunity to vote and make their voice heard!

Partnership: Leading Women of Tomorrow is a non-profit organization that seeks to empower more young women and nonbinary folks to consider careers in public service, with the aim of bridging the gender gap among public representatives.
